Guest Post: IRISH 10-MILE RANKINGS - Feb to July 2026 ...by John Walshe

IRISH HALF-YEAR 10-MILE RANKINGS FOR 2026 

Following is the ranking list over the popular 10-mile distance for all men (under 55:00) and women (under 65:00) for the six months from February to July 2026.

The list shows the time (gun), name/club/category, the race and finishing position, along with the date. Where an athlete appears more than once, just the surname is used after the initial listing.

Ryan Creech’s time of 48:41 from the Edenderry race on July 12th tops the men’s list, six seconds faster than joint leaders Oisin Martyn and Jake O’Regan up that point. Interestingly, both of those times were achieved on the same day of February 1st at Trim and Dungarvan respectively.

Up to this point last year, a total of 108 performances by men had been achieved under 55:00, this has risen to 123 for 2026. Dungarvan again leads the way with 27 inside the benchmark, although Trim and the Irish Runner./National 10-mile are close behind with 24 each.

Niamh Allen again tops the list for women, although her 53:59 from Kinsale is more than a minute slower than her 52:51 from 2025. Anne-Marie McGlynn with her 54:13 from Derry is the only other woman under 55 minutes.

The numbers of performances for women under 65:00 last year was 114, this time it’s just one less at 113. Dungarvan had 29 inside this time with Trim recording 22 under the standard. 

As usual, any additions or corrections for the end-of-year rankings are welcome and can be made on the comments section wherever this list appears.
